I thought it might be fun to start a list of movies that describe schooling in the U.S., especially those that include classroom scenes and some that provide a lot of cultural cues--though of course, everything does! Here are a few I thought of:
Higher Learning
Accepted (haven't seen this one)
Grease
Matilda
Finding Forrester
Freedom Writers
Up the Down Staircase (oldie)
